Hi there,

I have inserted an image (jpeg) into my title block, and it appears fine on screen, but will not print. It's a raster image, I've put it in the 'foreground' but don't have any options to play around with visibility settings or anything. I'm using Revit 2011 - any ideas? Have read a few similar questions on the forum but haven't had any luck so far.....

Thank you

Are you printing in "Vector" or "Raster" mode? try to use PNG images instead of JPEG's.

I know this post is a little late, but I'm running 2012 and suddenly am having this issue.

The image in my titleblock file doesn't print at full size in either vector or raster mode.  It does print on the small printer for letter and tabloid size prints.  My work-around was to insert the image on every sheet in my project file, rather than in the titleblock family, and it printed fine.  Only problem is that if I create a new sheet, I have to remember to copy the image over.

Not sure why this started happening in this new version.  I still have projects that I started in 2009 that I continue to use in 2009 (others in the office don't yet have 2012 on their computers) and do not have this issue. 

I saw the thread on Autodesk about downloading a hotfix, but it didn't work.

dfitzladdy - We are also having the exact same issue within our office at the moment.

If you figure out how to fix it, I'd greatly appreciate any suggestion that may help.

Thanks in advance.

Just an update guys.

I decided to further my research with this issue and found the solution on the autodesk discussion groups.

Here is the link for anyone interested:

raja15, thanks for following up with this.  I'm working in Revit 2012 and my plotter is a KIP5000, so your post doesn't quite do the trick.  However, it inspired me to start messing around with the KIP's printing preferences, and I changed the Output Format to be "KIP Script" instead of "KIP GL" and it solved the issue.
